Chapter 13 : Death before escape

"Do you realize what you did?"

"But oh it's only you who knows, you're not going to make a big deal out of it?"

"A man is going to be charged because of you"

"He just had to be smart uh"

"Because you think you are? Burn down a school, a car, use MY money to buy things that are of no use to you, you end up being a clown."

"So it was a game of engo, firstly it allowed me to win, and also to improve myself for my work as a consultant."

"Yes but you lost money and you pretended to disappear, what would I say to the boss now?"

"Tell him that this guy was playing a game of engo and that he had to kidnap me."

"Well, I'll find a way, you never do that to me again, or I'll take away your role as consultant."

"Yes yes don't worry"

Will was pretty angry about what I did, I didn't want to piss him off even more hehe .

We went to work with Catalina, Will told us about an escape case, something like that

"Hello Tommy"

"Hi"

"Tell us all about it"

"Reynolds Cago, prisoner of the "WETN" prison, he escaped this very morning, no guard saw anything, he could have vanished into thin air, all we know It's that no one reviews it in the prison at this very moment."

"Very well, I'll leave you young people, I have to work on another case."

Will being gone this is going to be our first group affair

"Well let's start by gathering information on the criminal" Catalina proclaimed

"Very good, I'll get it for you right away."

"You Nash get my coffee please"

"Huh, okay boss"

"It's okay, I found the file on him."

"Reynolds Cago, 34 years old, imprisoned for murder, double murder, theft, release, attempted murder of 20 people, that's no small feat."

"Uhm I see we will stay working remotely"

"we will leave a team working on the ground, our rank does not allow us to do so"

"Hold your coffee boss"

"Uhm regarding his private life?

"Deceased parent, no wife, no social ties, a real ghost"

"He must have someone he is around, right?

"I will search "

"Okay, Nash is coming with me, we're going to the prison."

"Alright"

We arrived in front of the "WETN" an impressive prison, lots of cameras and security, Reynolds didn't have to sleep to be able to vanished like that

"Hello, DBI, we are investigating the "disappearance" of Reynolds Cago , We would like to see the head of the prison if possible."

"No problem, please wait a few minutes."

"Hello please sit down"

After a few minutes of waiting, the manager came in, a rather old man with a cheap suit, but he's careful about his style, he doesn't earn much so, he's careful about his style But he has big dark circles, no choices in his life, he had to climb the ladder, no ambition either, but he wants to be up to the task...

"Hello my name and Regan Colins. Director of the prison, nice to meet you"

"Hello, Catalina agent and Nash consultant"

"Mr. Colins, I'm not going to beat around the bush, one of the prison guards must have helped the prisoner to escape or disappear? In any case even if it is not yet outside, Such a sudden disappearance will lead to an escape."

"I am aware, however, it is impossible that one of the guards is guilty, I know them personally."

While they engaged in conversation, I looked around the office looking for a clue, strangely for someone who has no ambition there are no photos, generally Someone with the same behavior would have been put either to hide their empty side or to make up for their lack of success, weird....

"Very good, hold my number to contact us, you never know "

"No problem, have a nice day."

We then left the room When we saw, a guard was a little suspicious, he was looking towards the door leading to the director's office

"Brief "

"SO ?"

"He says the guards are all safe, so the prisoner wouldn't have been seen after 9 p.m. yesterday."

"Interesting, shall we see Will?"

"Uhm no, let's go question the guard."

"Here we go "

"Hello excuse us, why were you looking at the principal's office?"

"The police make a fuss over anything these days, seriously, I just wanted to see who came out of the room."

The guard looked like someone who overestimates himself, an unkempt head, dandruff elsewhere, He doesn't take skincare, yet he's a guard, he has no marks, he's not the type to go to coal, he prefers to be safe because he thinks he's more useful than the others,He must have a special place but not so high, which nevertheless allowed him to have this audacity.He must have been the director's personal guard, the two go well together, I think...

"Well sir what is your name?"

"Johnny gale"

"Nash, do you think it's worth questioning him?"

"Uhhh, I don't know, yeah I guess, but we need to find a connection to the prisoner first, if we want to start on something."

"Very well let's start with a little trap "

"Uhm Mr. Johnny, do you know Reynolds Rago personally?"

"The name is Reynolds cago if I'm not mistaken"

"However, I believe that the police had purposely not broadcast the escape alert."

"Oh no, just a lot of times it's me who make the call in the cells."

"Strange for someone who doesn't venture into the field but rather prefers to be in the shadows."

I immediately put him on the wall to see his reaction to stress but he didn't react and continued to blame my words.

Catalina continued

"In addition, your thumb has no trace of the same tiny trace of plaice which happens when someone writes a lot, this prison has no great means, you would not have been able to do it with a Tablet, now stop lying the difference between Cago and Rago is minimal, only someone who knew him well or who had a dangerous word coming from him would have noticed the difference"

"I won't tell you anything without my lawyer present."

Me and Catalina walked away, we knew he wasn't going to say anything more, during our conversation, something intrigued me, he made a little movement of his thumb in his pocket, as if he were pressing something, unfortunately I didn't react immediately...

"Uhmm.. say Catalina, didn't you see the guard putting something in his right pocket?"

"Uhm I don't think so, For what? "

"Oh nothing "

As we headed towards the exit, sirens were blaring, an escape had taken place!"

"Hurry up Nash, it's probably Cagot."

While we were running, we could see the prisoners getting excited that an escape was taking place.

Arriving in front of the prison, we saw the body of the fugitive, who was Reynolds, hanged.

Why did you take all these steps only to end up dying? Something about this case and I intend to find out .
